it's no secret that jaehyun's a fan of anime, that he enjoys lying in bed and spending hours upon hours just watching a show. he's got a list of favourite characters as well, and he doesn't shy away from sharing it. having to prepare for the family concert though, has meant a lot more time being put into not looking like a complete idiot on stage, and a lot less time being able to watch his favourite shows. which is fine. really. it's not like jaehyun's going through any withdrawals, and he's actually been taking it a lot more better than he thought he would.
that is of course, until he sees daeul dressed the way that he is.
"oh," he says again, and he has to blink a few times to make sure that his eyes aren't playing tricks on him. for a moment he thinks he sees a glimpse of one of the protagonists in a manga he was currently reading. "daeul, is that you?" he walks towards his friend and then gently pats daeul's face without so much as a warning. "have you always been so heroic?" he asks, the lack of sleep now slowly getting to him.
sweaty palms, knees weak, arms heavy – jaehyun thinks that he finally understands what eminem had been rapping about in that one song. because he can't quite get a hold of himself, and he feels a little bit silly, standing there with a kuromi card holder hidden behind his back.
if someone had told him that he would be in the same company as his future dreams pick a few years ago, he would've simply told them to use all their free time streaming fabula songs instead. but here he was, really, like actually, in the same company as april. april! hayoung! he feels dizzy.
maybe he shouldn't have done this. maybe waiting around for fabula to finish up their rehearsals with his kuromi cardholder in hand wasn't a good idea. perhaps he would've been better off trying to strike up a conversation elsewhere, by pretending to accidentally bump into her. right, right, okay. maybe... – but then he sees her. his idol. and immediately his eyes brighten, like the starstruck fool that he is. he brings his kuromi cardholder close to his chest and after attempting to gain as much confidence as possible, he walks over to her.
be calm, be calm, be calm, be – "s-s...sunbae!" he manages to say, and he's honestly just thankful that he hadn't melted into a pile of goo right there and then. he brings his kuromi cardholder up, and in it, is an april pc. not just any average april pc, but a rarity – one that could easily sell for a large sum ( and one that jaehyun had actually bought for a large sum ). "uhm, i don't know if you remember... but that time, you said you would sign a photocard for me... so uhm, well i," he fumbles with his words, it's hard to act cool and collected in front of someone you really like. "i picked out one of my favourite photocards of you – not that there's any photocard of you that i don't like! i think they're all great! – ... but this is my favourite! and well, i brought a marker and uhm..." he takes in a deep breath, realizing now that he hasn't even been able to look her in the eye. too much eye contact and he think he might faint. "would it be too much... if i asked you to sign this... please?"

random facts
1. literally only joined lgc university because a cute girl in high school that he had a crush on kept bringing it up as her dream school. funnily enough, jaehyun was able to pass the admission but she never did 💔 oh well
2. once tried to sneak a cat back into his dorms because he caught it shivering in the rain on the way back from work. he was able to get away with it for one week, but was caught eventually. the cat now stays with his dad and he's decided to name it "panda" (after the jjk character)
3. is usually seen around campus with his sony headphones. it usually doesn't have any battery though, he mostly wears it for aesthetic purposes. they fit his vibe.
it sort of feels like a pattern at this point. jaehyun going up to jungmo at the end of a day filled with training, with nothing but a spare can of sprite that he almost always offers his friend. followed by a loud groan, a sigh, and a complaint about being called out for his less than spectacular skills.
it's not like he's a terrible singer. it's just that he can't hit a note and he knows it frustrates the trainers. he's more of a rapper anyway! if you count speed-talking rapping.
he shrugs and slumps against the lockers. "sometimes i wish my ears would get stung by a bee, just so i can block out the nagging," he sighs, but of course he doesn't mean it. it'd probably hurt, a lot. and jaehyun isn't too fond of pain.
"anyway, it's sunday tomorrow. you wanna stay up and rewatch the jujutsu kaisen movie?" see, there were many ways that jaehyun could've chosen to unwind and relax, to take his mind off the criticisms he'd been faced with. his favourite way though, was through watching animated movies. over and over. even if it meant dragging jungmo along.
hi everyone!! and thank you sm for all the welcomes 💕 it's me again wenjun's mun with a second muse !! i'm super excited to bring jaehyun!! he's a sort of (??) fresh trainee and has been around since july 2022 so he's just reached his one year mark woohoo! a just slightly above average dancer and less than average singer who's only getting by thanks to his okay personality 👍🏻 you can find his profile here ! i would love to plot with everyone so pls feel free to like this post and i will fly straight into ur ims!! i also have a twitter @haoylt if anyone would prefer to plot there! i have a discord as well 🫶🏻
underneath the cut i've got a basic profile and some plot ideas!!
both his parents were news anchors
they would bring him to their work place and their colleagues would always comment on how jaehyun looked like he could be a celebrity
received a lot of love from his parents
( tw death ) his mum passed away when giving birth to his little brother when jaehyun was three ( tw end )
jaehyun really adores his little brother!! since they're close in age jaehyun thinks of him as one of his best friends
his dad is still a news anchor for a big broadcast station ( kinda like kbs or sbs ), and even after his mother's passing, jaehyun would still visit the broadcasting station as a kid with his little brother
got through school pretty easily – not because he was particularly smart, but because of his laidback attitude and how easily he made friends
got scouted by an entertainment company when he was a first year in highschool while he was performing at his school's festival
the company went bust though, and jaehyun was forced to leave 💔
was kinda juggling between whether the celebrity life was something that he really wanted and decided yea fuck it it is !! auditioned for legacy and somehow made it in
is a pretty okay dancer, but can't really sing or rap so he really has no idea how he got through the audition
very much the kind of guy that will send funny "good morning... have a beautiful day" messages like this to his friends or in the gc ... is he serious about it?? who knows he just likes sending good morning messages to friends
just trying to get through life with no real direction 👍🏻
plot ideas
friends from childhood, school, etc! jaehyun grew up in seoul all his life
someone who doesnt like him... like you have no idea how he even made it in lgc... sure he can dance but he can't hold a note and his rapping is barely considered 'rapping' to your standards... jaehyun also doesn't seem to take things seriously enough which rightfully annoys you!!
someone who debuted before july 2022 and jaehyun's a huge fan like "i bought your albums" "i voted for you" fan
jaehyun's actually surprisingly a pretty okay actor and your muse helps him realize this ... maybe youre watching dramas together and jaehyun suddenly decides to imitate one of the scenes for fun
jaehyun is a bit of a weeb and the type of guy to text your muse "lets play genshin" in the middle of the night even tho you have training early the next day
your muse has a bit of a crush on jaehyun ?? could be because of his easy going attitude or because jaehyun is the kind of guy who may tend to give off ~ wrong signals ~ when he's trying to be friendly
an ex... could be pre or post lgc era! things don't have to have ended amicably ( because who doesnt love some angst 🫶🏻 )
jaehyun has a bit of a crush on your muse and doesn't know how to act ( stuttering on words, tripping, avoiding eye contact )
